I have a home built PC and I bought a new HD Camera and I want to edit videos better without buying a Mac. I have an Athlon II 635 (x4 2.9Ghz), 4GB RAM, and built in ATI Radeon HD 4200 GPU (128MB DDR3) and 700w P/S. I have Windows 7 x64.
1) Should I have more RAM or better video card? Why does it take so long to render, process videos I want to edit? Is this strictly a processor limitation or will RAM/GPU help this?
2) For video editing, what spec is important on the video card (CUDA Cores, etc) and what value to I get out of a new GPU?
3) When I use video software my system overheats and shuts down, will video card help distribute workload (and therefore heat) and stop this issue? I fully understand I have a heating issue and intend on fixing it but this kind of relates to my second question of whether the computer distributes the workload.
Much appreciated.
